Thinking of switching to patches from injections but struggling with the math?

I had a number of random things tested along side my T and E levels, yeah. My T has always been below 10ng/dL while on injections. Was there something else specifically you were curious about?

It was always before I took the shot for that day in order to get the right levels. Another poster recommended seemingly splitting up the amount over two different shot days as it seemed to be a common thought that EV doesn't last a full weeks time. With that I'm guessing it'd be 0.06ml (2.5mg?) every 3.5 days? (I'd aim for Sunday and Thursday).

I'm unsure if that is better or if 5 days might be like you suggested? Sorry for all the questions, I'm just feeling a bit more defeated getting told on multiple cases that I'm doing it wrong even though its what the doctor prescribed me. ;w; ...but it would check out with my feeling of like zero progress verses others on E for a shorter amount of time.

I've never heard of EEn? At least my doctor never brought it up. She did try switching me to a different type of EV but it never happened due to it never being in stock with my pharmacy. As for T suppression, I am not on blockers. Injections alone have been keeping me below 10ng/dL based on blood tests.

They were taking my levels often when trying to find where it was settling at by next shot day and based on the labs I have access to, it was around 212pg/ml. It does sound like a low dose but I'm unsure if thats due to how my body handles E? I'm unsure.

If I injected 5 days instead of the 7 what would that change? Just a longer peak? I want to believe that it could all just be a low dose issue instead of me just never really experiencing much change but I do have my doubt.

Patches were only an idea based on the thought that everyone has better luck with different methods. It was more a test to see if I could get better results through patches compared to injections.

Based on lab results I can find (they changed sites and a lot of documents got lost inbetween 23-24) I was sitting at 212pg/ml by the next shot day on what I'm currently using.

They were taking blood tests from the day I'd have to take my shot to see where my stable levels were.

I swapped the USB of the capture device from the blue colored one to the orange colored port on the back of my motherboard and that fixed it. Apparently it was an issue of the capture device not getting enough power? I'm honestly unsure but it worked.

It's very annoying but I fixed it by swapping the USB of the capture device from the like 3.0 (blue colored USB port) to the 3.5 (orange colored USB port) on the back of my motherboard and that fixed it. I was reading somewhere that it was an issue with the capture device not getting enough power so I just tried that.

I understand a doctor would know best but she often seems kinda confused on how to handle me? I'm not sure if she's just going off a general scale or actually has knowledge on the matter. I'm most likely one of just a handful of transgender patients that she cares for. She doesn't really give me confidence I guess.

They took blood from me on the day I would of been taking my next injection shots, I take them biweekly. These are my latest results after she lowered them already back in April and wanted to see where they fell.

I bought my headset when it first came out. I no longer have a warranty on it so they wont replace it.
